Is It Appropriate to Speak of Death during a Dissection Course?

Tuohimaa, Pentti; And Others

Teaching and Learning in Medicine, v5 n3 p169-73 1993

A Finnish university medical school precedes its cadaver dissection course with lectures on death, dissection, and psychological response. Student surveys reveal that the lectures have created an awareness that has helped them through difficult situations and prevented dissipation of energy through emotional reaction. Long-term benefits are also anticipated. (Author/MSE)
